Regulatory Horizons Council

We want to bring new technology to the public faster. The Regulatory Innovation Office will: ✔ Update regulation to drive innovation ✔ Speed up approvals to bring new products to market ✔ Ensure regulatory bodies work together That's more innovation, jobs and a stronger economy.

🚨 This month's Institutions of Innovation interview is now live! 🥇 The series explores the key institutions leading innovation policy across the UK Government and research landscape 🚀 November's edition features Professor Lucy Mason, a Member of the Regulatory Horizons Council (RHC) ➡️ Click here to read Lucy's responses: https://lnkd.in/eGR_TcSz #Innovation | #Regulation | #Government | #Technology | #UK _________ 🚨 Our latest Meet the Innovators episode is also live! 😎 This features RiVR, the techUK member company behind a range of innovative Augmented and Virtual Reality experiences for training scenarios across Justice & Emergency Services 🎤 In this video we visit RiVR's offices, try the experiences for ourselves, and interview Alex Harvey, RiVR's Co-founder ➡️ Watch the episode here: https://lnkd.in/eetNEX4w #Tech | #XR | #AR | #VR | #MeetTheInnovators | #Police | #Fire | #Interview _________ 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗞 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🚀 The opportunities for innovation are endless. Together we are working with Government and other stakeholders to address tech innovation priorities and build an innovation ecosystem that will benefit people, society, the economy and the planet - and unleash the UK's potential to be a global leader in tech and innovation. 👉 For more information or to get in touch, please visit techUK's Innovation Hub and click ‘contact us’: https://lnkd.in/gh-v-q89 🌱 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 🌍 https://lnkd.in/gBk4GPcR #UnleashInnovation

🛰 Looking forward to the publication of the Regulatory Horizons Council report on the Future Regulation of Space Technologies later this week! First, we identified the ‘Space 11’ – the 11 technologies which will shape the future of #space over the coming decade and more: 1. AI and Machine Learning will improve data analytics and decision-making, and enable innovation in many of the other technologies 2. Data science underpins many current and future technologies such as AI, automation, robotics, and telecommunications, enables spaceflight and, in future, will help us to optimise bandwidth and orbital capacity 3. Energy, launch, and propulsion technologies allow spacecraft to take off and manoeuvre in space, and could potentially lead to sustainable solar and other energy sources for Earth 4. Engineering biology may help us develop novel food and medicines to sustain future human life in space, with spin-out benefits for health services on Earth 5. Future telecommunications technologies will drastically improve global connectivity, data sharing and data transmission 6. Human sciences can inspire us, help us develop the diverse workforce and ethics we need in the space sector, help future human crewed missions operate together, and eventually help us to create new communities in space 7. Novel materials and nanotechnology will build lightweight, high-strength components for satellites and improve design and performance, and are an enabler for in-space manufacture and recycling 8. Quantum technologies have the potential to hugely improve communication, computing, and sensing, and may enhance – or undermine – data security and the encryption of satellite communications. Quantum metrology (atomic clocks) would enable more accurate instrumentation and future spacecraft navigation 9. Robotics, software, and automation activities for uncrewed missions will help us to operate more cheaply, safely, and efficiently, and enable active debris removal and in-orbit servicing, especially when enabled by AI 10. Semiconductors are critical to the Space Sector supply chain and need to be adapted (radiation-hardened) through novel design and materials to enable breakthrough technologies – especially future communications 11. Sensors and the Internet of Things will improve our ability to detect and track what is happening, including radio and optical telescopes for astronomy Watch this space to find out more!
